However, over those many years, I have practiced other forms of divination that gave as accurate an account as the beloved paste boards.
Many forget that the mechanics of divination can be applied to most anything. All one needs is focus and intent.
As an example, one can take an old key and in a circle divided by an X and ascribing each section to the 4 compass directions can get quite an accurate reading by casting the key three times upon the circle and see which way the business end of the key points.
At the Arcanus Tarot Parlor, David MacKenzie does bone casting, which includes various bones and other objects to which he has associated meanings, and a casting cloth upon which he casts and accurately reads ones past, present, and future. The same technique that we use for Tarot, he uses for the bones. The focus is upon the meanings of the bones, how the fall, and the energy of the client.
Once one has the basics of divination a whole world opens up and you will never be left unawares if you are caught without your beloved deck.
So try to construct a simple reading method utilizing something from around the house, or in your pocket. I think you will be amazed how something ordinary can be turned into the extraordinary just by your focus and intent.
